This week, meme.market caught my attention.
Created by the minds behind mint.fun, this new platform pairs memecoins directly with picture memes via ERC-1155 NFTs.
The idea here, of course, is to bridge the gap between meme-themed tokens and actual memes.
Deployed on the Base L2, the platform acts as a marketplace and creator hub where people can buy and sell memecoins + memes along bonding curves and create and earn from new memes in existing markets.
My opinion? Keep an eye out here, as meme.market not only adds depth to the memecoin concept but also pioneers a new model for digital creativity in the cryptoeconomy. It’s worth keeping on your radar accordingly.
For now, though, onto the past week’s NFT news highlights! 👇
